This game is not worth the hype. Everything is admirable in the game but the difficult combat system and the ultra hard difficulty will make you rage quit if you're a casual player. I've been playing games for 15 years since the PS2 era and have played games on hard difficulty setting. But this is the second game and my first souls game in which the only experience I got playing for 10 hours was frustration. There may be players who have put their entire effort in mastering the combat of this game, maybe they don't have anything else to do. I play games to relax not to get frustrated over a computer challenge. Don't spend money on it if this is your first souls game.
